Summary0003314: Real Name Length
DescriptionI've always notice Unreal's only allows 50 characters for the real name on someone's nick. This can be a little longer.

I did the math with a who reply (longest line I was able to think of which included the real name), and the longest it could be is 316 with the current limits. (I think 316 is a little more than it can be, and I'm pretty sure I did the math right).

I have attached a patch to increase the length from 50 to 70. I chose a length of 70 because that's what mIRC's max is. If anyone feels it should be more, feel free to make it larger.

I'm going to state the obvious .. what about the NICK command? as in, the s2s one.

Even with NICKv2+NICKUP+CLK (from serverprotocol.html), the absolute most characters that would be sent is 398 (without the realname), so this leaves 512-398-4 (-4 for space, colon, and CRLF) = 110 characters for the realname field. A realname length of 70 would bring it up to 472, so there will still be room to spare.

I would honestly rather have the space for extra fields in NICKv2.
